 to Colonel Prain, Director, and to Dr. Stapf, Curator, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; 

 also to Captain Gage, Director of the Botanical Survey of India, and to Mr. E. G. Baker 

 of the British Museum, who have with unfailing courtesy given him the most generous 

 assistance on all points referred to them. 



The writer has also to acknowledge the great assistance received by him from the 

 splendid herbarium, mainly accumulated and arranged by Mr. J. F. Duthie and containing 

 valuable collections contributed by many Forest Officers, which is now in charge of the 

 Forest Botanist at Dehra Dun.
